abstract

I show that cosmological perturbation spectra produced from quantum fluctuations in massless or self-interacting scalar fields during an inflationary era remain invariant under a two parameter family of transformations of the homogeneous background fields. This relates slow-roll inflation models to solutions which may be far from the usual slow-roll limit. For example, a scale-invariant spectrum of perturbations in a minimally coupled, massless field can be produced by an exponential expansion with $a\propto e^{Ht}$, or by a collapsing universe with $a\propto (-t)^{2/3}$.

Hidden quantum-informatic symmetries of quasi-de Sitter backgrounds

hep-th · 2026-07-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Wands-dual quasi-de Sitter backgrounds produce identical symplectic eigenvalues in the Gaussian covariance matrix of localized scalar modes, revealing a quantum-informatic symmetry preserved by the duality's canonical transformation properties.

UV artefacts in ultra-slow-roll models of inflation

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Hubble-flow models of ultra-slow-roll inflation introduce spurious UV artefacts in the potential that Fourier filtering removes, restoring Wands duality.
